      Thanks Ray, great photo. Is that a seagull to the top left of Venus?

      Wow! You got it

      I'm surprised with the cloud coverage we had today that you were able to get a shot of it. I kept looking at the sky and ended up giving up. Well done Ray

      Thanks, Ray. I guess I just got lucky. When I started, it was above the clouds. Then it went behind for 15-20 mind, and then popped back for sunset. It was perfect. I actually probably took around 80 shots. I don't have my laptop so I couldn't do any processing on this. Got another one or two I'll throw up in a couple days, plus some sunset, water, and clouds shots.

      That is awesome. Especially with the bird in it! Glad you caught this. It was cloudy where I was, so no-go. Have to live vicariously through others! ;-)

      Wow, this is nice!! Very cool you got the bird too. Wonder how many years will pass before Venus AND a bird cross the sun again in a photo...
